Doha, Qatar: In an event rich with reflection and inspiration, The Next Generation School honoured its Class of 2025 graduates, recognizing years of dedication, achievement, and growth.
This year’s ceremony embodied TNG’s ongoing mission to nurture academic excellence, leadership, and global citizenship.
TNG CEO Shagufta Bakali opened the ceremony with heartfelt remarks, expressing pride in the graduating cohort and reflecting on the remarkable journey of both campuses. She commended the accomplishments of TNG Al Wakra and Al Daayen, whose students have continued to demonstrate excellence and perseverance.
Graduates from both campuses received their certificates, marking a milestone in their academic journeys. The ceremony also recognized valedictorians Anas Ali Khan, Hasaan Junaid Kasmani, Abdullah Bin Zubair, and Huda Masroor. Delivering the Valedictorian Address, Kasmani reminded his peers that success is a personal journey, urging them to measure progress through self-growth rather than comparison.
Ali Al Tamimi, 1st Schools Expert from Private Schools and Kindergarten Department at MOEHE, congratulated the students in his address; while representatives from the Embassy of Pakistan, Salman Khalid and Osama Idrees shared valuable insights on nurturing morals and essential soft skills. Dr. Shaker Lashuel, Executive Director of Global Studies Institute, delivered an inspiring address encouraging graduates to cultivate gratitude, purpose, and a strong commitment to giving back to their communities.
TNG Principal Ailia Rizvi congratulated students, parents, and teachers for these collective achievements. “The true test of character lies in how we respond to a challenge or crisis. Real courage is not in the person with the loudest voice or the strongest arm, but the one who stands up for what is true and ethical.”
The ceremony culminated with a reflective address by TNG Director Riyaz Ahmed Bakali, who shared insights on the value of gratitude, urging graduates to express it through problem-solving, innovation, and service to society. He encouraged them to pursue research and development as a means to find solutions, cure diseases, and meaningfully contribute to their communities.
